Do social services make efforts to insure that these fsmilies are actually sending their daughters to school through high school to be educated, especially the families who follow the women must be fully covered including their faces and only go out with a man in tow line of thought?  How hard are the schools working to teach their SONS about equality and freedom of thought, person and religion for women?

If my experience at that starbucks is what is happening in that area near that mosque, everyone should be alarmed, including other muslims.

They are taking women's tights back to beyond the worst conditions ever seen in this country, back to another century from another part of the world.

Every liberal and feminist should be concerned.[/quote]
Social services has more important things to do then butt their noses in people's religious beliefs.  They are overwhelmed with American parents torturing and murdering their children.

I don't understand how people insist that these folks be "westernized", and make them accept equality of women when some white Americans don't believe in equality of women either.  And our gov't can't do a damn thing about it.  It's called freedom of religion.

And no, I don't agree with their views, but I respect that in this country we are free to believe what we want. That's pretty much the foundation of this country.[/quote]

There are societal norms that are part of our American culture and if you are choosing to emigrate to any country you must adopt the basic societal norms of the country you are choosing to join.

Given what is happening in Europe it is very important that we work to enlighten and educate people who come to this country with practices that run contrary to our societal structures and some cases our laws so that these immigrants can integrate themselves into our society in a positive way.  They aren't citizens born here but rather outsiders choosing to come here and that we are letting into our society.  We have an obligation to teach them how to function in a modern, western society (which the US is) including making sure they understand that women and girls are equals in America.   And THEY have an obligation to integrate their own belief system into our society in a way that respects what our western country considers to be basic human rights, including that women are not chattel to be hidden and dominated.

But some of our own citizens to adhere to those "societal norms", so you can't really enforce that on immigrants.  Double standard.[/quote]
